Sorry about that. The video is for an older MVP. I pushed the product live last week before attending NodeDay, so I really need to update the video.
The specs are actually written using a small JavaScript file which is then serialized to JSON, which is used to generate the JavaScript.
The best way to experience Exponetial.io is via:
npm install -g exponential
Then just create a login on www.exponential.io and you're ready to go.
If you don't have Node installed, then installation instructions for Mac, Windows and Linux can be found at:
Site note: We're definitely early alpha. So Exponential.io as it stands now is for early adopters who are ok with giving feedback to drive product features. Our target is to hit beta by April 30.
I am guessing you guys are in heavy development? because I didn't see how you go from using spreadsheets to using your solution (at least from the code samples). I am guessing people who use spreadsheets to build "apps" aren't typically in a position (skill-wise) to use JavaScript to do anything sophisticated.
